We Moved! We are pleased to announce our recent move to the massive and beautiful Batipa Peninsula in the Gulf of Chiriqui. This move not only involves a relocation but a meaningful new partnership. We are now working with the award winning, internationally accredited University of OTEIMA located in David.  Day Guests? At our new and improved facilities we welcome those individuals who would like to learn about our research, view the animals, and explore the Batipa Wildlife Preserve. We will be taking day guest reservations on Fridays only. Tours start at 10 am and complete 12 pm. You can access us by boat or a car with clearance. Join the biologists for lunch afterwards or bring your own for a picnic on the coast. A minimum donation of $25 is asked of each visitor. If you are looking for an internship please contact us at info@alouattasanctuary.org       Creating a Culture of Conservation We hope our union with OTEIMA will help save precious wildlife, facilitate indigenous empowerment, repopulate  species, and reforest jungles thereby cultivating a much needed culture of conservation. This partnership will be the foundation for the Batipa Field Institute, a center for research and education in conservation of biodiversity and sustainability. BFI programs engage in groundbreaking research conducted by an international faculty to boost efforts to create more local conservation programs. Our goal is not only to promote environmental sustainability but also help create sustainable livelihoods and social equity in Chiriqui.
